4cr Review - The Bourne Conspiracy

4cr writes: "It may seem odd to release a Bourne game now, nearly a year after the third movie (and six years after the movie that the game is based on). Still, the movies are structured just like video games with cinematic story segments interspersed between intense action scenes, and I can't really blame the developers for wanting to get in on the action. I'm actually kind off amazed that it took this long. How well does The Bourne Conspiracy capture the tone and excitement of the movies?

I'll admit, I went into The Bourne Conspiracy with pretty low expectations. Crappy games based on movies may be a stereotype, but it's a stereotype for a reason. Games based on movies are usually quick cash-ins pumped out by stressed developers who know that they don't have time to properly develop a game, so they barely bother. This is an interesting case, as High Moon Studios didn't have that impending release date to meet. They could put forth an actual effort, and they did. It doesn't quite match up to the holy grail of movie games, Chronicles of Riddick, but The Bourne Conspiracy is a pretty good game."
